After a refreshing walk along the Thames Estuary at Leigh On Sea we stopped by Sara's Tea Garden…read more The garden is a lovely place to have tea or coffee - if the sun shines! But there is also a small covered area. The place was busy but we were served quickly and the staff were friendly and helpful. The homemade cakes were delicious. We both opted for iced tea-cakes - just like mum used to make! Well worth a visit.

Ok Rayleigh isn't big on places to get a coffee but I love the fact we have a costa. This place is…read morealways busy and can be hard to find a seat. I pop in every Sat/Sun when I'm visiting my parents and always manage to find a seat for one. If you are with more than two people I suggest avoiding lunch or early morning as it will be packed. The service is great and the staff are very good at getting people through quickly which is a massive bonus. I've waited in queues in other coffee shops for to long but no matter how long the queue is I never wait more than a few minutes. The phone signal is poor here but they have free wifi which works fine. So if in Rayleigh and you need a coffee fix us Costa.
